Vick can keep Falcons' bonuses

Michael Vick, the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback now doing time in federal prison on dogfighting charges, can keep nearly $20 million in bonuses paid by the team, a federal judge in Minneapolis ruled this morning.

A special master found in October that Vick needed to pay back the money, but the judge said return of the funds would violate the NFL's collective bargaining agreement.
